1 Introduction
The Elmo-Tech TRaCE system is a multi-featured electronic monitoring
system designed to locate, identify and observe moving people (inmates,
security staff or guests) in a geographically limited area that can be used in
various types of correctional facilities and their surrounding areas. The
Officer Duress Unit (ODU) is one of the many unique elements of this
system.
The Officer Duress Unit is a small, lightweight, belt mounted device that is
generally carried by the staff officer that can be used to audio-visually alert
other officers’ whenever the built-in distress button is pressed, if the device
is pulled away from the officer’s belt (lanyard), or if the officer is pushed
down to the ground (man-down). The Officer Duress Unit also provides
continuous monitoring of the officer’s location.

1.2 Activating the Officer Duress Unit
The Officer Duress Unit is turned off by the manufacturer before shipment
and must be activated before use.
To activate the Officer Duress Unit, press the Mode, Clear and both Scroll
buttons in for a period of at least two (2) seconds. The LED will blink three
(3) times in quick succession and three (3) short beeping sounds will be
heard. The orange LED will blink. The Officer Duress Unit is now in
standby mode.
In standby mode the Officer Duress Unit sends a transmission (every 20
seconds) to the monitoring system. This transmission is used by the
monitoring system to verify location. If the lanyard cord is pulled out of its
connection socket or any of the scrolling (panic) buttons are pressed, a
strong audible alarm will be heard, the red LED will flash and an alarm
message will be sent to the monitoring system.
Note that in standby mode the man-down detector is not yet active and can
be activated during to the attachment of the Officer Duress Unit.
To deactivate the Officer Duress Unit, press the Mode, Clear and both Scroll
buttons in for a period of at least two (2) seconds. One (1) long beeping

To activate the man-down detector, press the Mode button and any of the
Scrolling buttons for at least two (2) seconds. The green LED will blink. The
Officer Duress Unit is now in active mode.
In active mode the Officer Duress Unit sends a transmission (every 20
seconds) to the monitoring system. This transmission is used by the
monitoring system to verify location. If the lanyard cord is pulled out of its
connection socket, any of the scrolling buttons are pressed (panic), or if the
man-down detector is activated and the Officer Duress Unit is tilted more
than 60° from its vertical position (for more than 8 seconds) an audible
alarm will be heard, the red LED will blink and an alarm message will be
sent to the monitoring system.
If the Officer Duress Unit is tilted more than 60° from its vertical position
(for more than 2 seconds) an audible buzzer will be heard and the green
LED will blink. This indicates that the Officer Duress Unit is in warning
mode. You have eight (8) seconds to return the Officer Duress Unit to active
mode, before the unit automatically moves into alarm mode.
To return the Officer Duress Unit to active mode, return the Officer Duress
Unit to its vertical position and press the Mode button in for two (2)
